If you don't need to print envelopes or mix
portrait and landscape pages (it is obnoxious)
and you don't need division tabs, it is workable.
Oh and if in their spreadsheet, make sure you
click off a cell before you click print or the cell
won't show up in your print. Each new major rev
the bug comes back. I re-re-re-re-report it, some
jerk argues with me, he gets over ruled by some
developer, and it get fixed again. Got burned
by it at the back again yesterday, but fortunately
I remembered what it was sup[port to say and
scribbled it in.
That being said, Libre Office is my second choice
after Word Pro.
As for envelopes, I use both Word Pro (which
makes it easy) and Envelope Printer (very, very
easy):

Envelope printer is very nicely done.

The release notes almost always indicate otherwise.
- though whenever a new CY stand-alone(Home and Student, Home and
Business, Pro Plus[volume licensing] is RTM'd there can be some
deviation. Since 2021 stand-alone is now over 6 months old, 365 wouldn't
be behind.
- 365 has all the features of 2021 and more not included in 2021.

Lol...preaching to choir on the Ribbon in Office. That ship set sail 15
years ago in 2007 and followed after other software adopted the 'fluent
UI'<g> - Dreamweaver, Delphi, Studio 3D.
- you can also look back a year and few months earlier when the early
non-public beta versions of Microsoft Essentials(fka Windows Live
Essentials) as the testing grounds for the 'ribbon' changes later
implemented in Office - common UI, integration across different software
platforms etc.

I found it a bit odd myself.
